Will McMasters Up On Charges, Nov. 24, 1920

Officer Carl Shores made a raid one mile from Jackson Springs in Moore county Saturday, and broke up a 60-gallon copper still. It was within 125 yards of the residence of Will McMasters, white. The officers approached McMasters’ house and saw him at the crib giving a drink of blockade whiskey to a man. He was arrested and brought to Rockingham, where he was given a hearing before U.S. Commissioner Guthrie on the charge of removing and concealing. The commissioner bound him over to March term of Federal court at Laurinburg under $200, which McMasters himself readily gave. (From the front page of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, Nov. 24, 1920)
